The drawing with the net to design the box is in the picture attached.

Answer:

  • 128 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The net consists of six parallelograms, each representing one face of the box.

  • Four faces are rectangular shaped, with dimensions 6 ft × 4 ft.

  • The other two faces are square shaped, with dimensions 4 ft side length.

The amount of cardboard Jayden need to make the box can be estimated as the area represented by the net.

The calculations are:

  • Rectangular faces: length × height = 6 ft × 4 ft = 24 ft²

  • Square faces: side length² = (4 ft)² = 16 ft²

  • Four rectangles and two squares: 4 × 24 ft² + 2 × 16 ft² = 96 ft² + 32 ft² = 128 ft².
